Please give us smaller phones!

I was asked recommending a phone to a friend, who wanted a small phone with a good camera and because her previous phone had water damage it had to be waterproof. I couldn't find any!

I actually had similar criteria a year ago and I wanted it to be second hand, because my phone's always fall and break. (And it had to be a popular model for resale value and case availability)

The iPhone 5SE has a nice size, but it's way to expensive for what you'll get. I got a s7 myself, but I find this phone ...

Assistant Redesign?

I noticed that the Assistant seems to have changed a little bit and now centers the text being generated.

Android 10 has broken navigation by design

The new navigation system's back action has made side drawers essentially obsolete. Side drawers are still the most popular navigation pattern in Android, a lot of apps have bottom and top bars as the primary navigation component but a complimentary side drawer for secondary destinations.

Toggleing the side drawer through the top left burger is far from accessible when it's half foot away from your finger.

Pulling the drawer diagonally works most of the times but it's a terrible experience as ...

Why do ALL new phones have this meme aspect ratio?

What am I even supposed to do with an "18:9" phone? Browse through Facebook? Because I sure can't properly play games on it. Especially emulators. And forget reading comics or watching a short movie or anything that has a fixed ratio.

It's 2019 and it's common knowledge how aspect ratios affect image size. We are basically being ripped off for screen real estate.

If it was half the market, ok, but I literally can't find a single new phone above 6" that does not have an overly long screen.

Why Google doesn't add an option in the battery settings to change the number of amps and volts the phone gets from the charger Subsequently controlling the charging speed?

Why? Some people let their phones charge overnight and this could harm the battery in the long term so let's assume you sleep for 8 hours, you can set the phone to fully charge in 8 hours by changing the charging speed so you don't need to worry about your battery.

Need to mention that Samsung one UI has a similar idea which is enabling and disabling the fast charging....

What is your experience of going caseless with mid-range droid phones?

I have A8 (2018) with Gorilla Glass 5 on the back, and currently contemplating going ceaseless, I like how screen feels like without case and also like in generally how phone feels in hand. For instance, after prolonged non-use phone feels cold to the touch. I am heavy user but mostly at home, I rarely take out phone in the public, generally I use phone as a podcast player. So the question, how is your experience with going caseless with your android phone, especially the ones that have glass ba...

I can't remember everything i've disliked so far but some things are

Biggest issue: the buttons design compared to iPhone. I have had this phone for a month now and it is still awkwardly uncomfortable to hit the -/+ volume button, i constantly hit the wrong one. Also, if my phone is in my pocket I can no longer lower or increase volume because you always end up screenshotting or closing the phone because the...

New Small Smartphone -- Cubot King Kong Mini 4 inch screen

Like many people in this subreddit I've been looking for a small smartphone for over 4 years now. I've been running a Moto E2 (from 2015) with a 4.5 inch screen for years. I briefly has a Wileyfox Swift 2 but the slightly larger phone was awkward for me (I could never reach the top of the screen) and taking it out of my pocket one day I dropped it smashing the screen. Been using the Moto E2 (with Lineage) it since.

I recently came across the Cubot King Kong Mini which has a 4 inch screen, is s...

How about a right to repair our phones and make sure OEMs sell parts needed for such repairs?

If lets say I own a samsung galaxy s8 or iphone whatever version, there should be the right to repair them.

E-waste is a huge issue. Financially, it makes sense to keep a phone for more years.

OEMs do not sell batteries or other components or force them not to be sold,ala apple. This is an absolute crime in regards to consumer rights and the environment.

Furthermore, OEMs create devices, like the S10 or LG thinq whatever version, with glued in batteries and soldered usb-c ports.

Oh, you wann...
